Congrats on snagging your sweet new ride! Hope you didn't pay too much for it. I have a SAS equipped OBX with the cloth roast interior on order. Thought about getting the lux package at first but ultimately couldn't rationalize what I felt was the ridiculously high cost vs. features. Also thought the cloth might not get as hot with the top down all the time. Thanks for the pictures - it helps to get a better sense of what the roast actually looks like. I have to say too that your pictures make that bronze dash look very appealing compared to the few others I've seen. I think I'm going to like it when I get my Bronco in 50 years. Okay, I know I'm exaggerating.........in 25 years!
Yes, the bronze dash is a lot better in real life than it is in the terrible pictures I've seen online. People ohh ahh over it, actually. I only have the mid package and I don't really miss anything I would have gotten in Lux - that I know of, anyway.

I am getting a BL with leather because I wanted the power seats. However for those times that I take it off road, I would like to insert the liners like you have. So I ordered them. It looks like both the OBX and BL (with leather) have the carpeted floors. Did your liners fit properly and snap in to place? I think if they work fine in the OBX, they should do equally well in my build. Thanks in advance and you have a great Bronco!
Yes, the liners fit perfectly and they snap into the front pegs. the back seat liner covers the entire floor, including the bump in the middle. I have the back cargo liner also. Living on a farm in FL = sand everywhere. Carpet is terrible for that.

I agree, liners are indispensable. I took my new OBX for some light sandy trail ride yesterday with a few mud puddles and let me just say; the sand gets EVERYWHERE! I can tell keeping this thing even somewhat presentable is going to be a chore. I think that the next time I am going to just take off the fender flares before I even start washing.
Thanks for your thread and curious to see how your new tires look.

I spent an hour washing my filthy Bronco and I still missed some spots. It has SO MANY places for mud to hide. I wash it once a week, but it will get dirty in the morning just driving to work.

The new tires look so much better! They fit neatly under the flares as well. The spare just fit under the brake light. These are 275/70/R18 KO2s.

My speedometer is pretty much right on with these tires according to GPS. I noticed it was a little off before with the original tires. Depending on the speed it is maybe .5 mph off, but mostly when going at a higher speed.

Looks great! Getting the same tires on our Outerbanks as soon as we take delivery.

Looks excellent! A few questions, did you leave crash bars and any rubbing? Thanks,

I didn't modify anything. No rubbing and I live off-road. I would have noticed.

Looks great. With those tires having a load rating E, once you get some seat time, can you provide observations about how it rides? There is much debate about load rating from C to E!

Thanks so much. This is probably my option if I keep the stock wheels. I am also leaning toward the raised white letters for that old school look.

I chose the black letters because of where I live. They would be brown by the time I got home.

I love these tires. I've been driving them on and off for years with my trucks. I think they drive really smoothly. I can tell you it handled the sand very well.

I too love the KO2's but I am used to the C rated ones. I'm not sure how I feel about stepping up to E rated tires, which is what I think yours are.
